Penis Disorders

Problem with your penis directly affects your sexual life as well as your overall well-being. But remember it is way common than you would think. One in five men reports consistent and repeated problems in their “pee-pee”.

6 Most Common Penis Disorders

Some the most common conditions that affect the penis are:

1. Balanitis

Balanitis is a common problem that can occur in men at any age. It is said that circumcision plays an important role in Balanitis. Studies suggest that Balanitis is more common in uncircumcised men than circumcised men.

2. Peyronie's disease

An abnormal curvature of the penis caused in the erectile tissue by the scar tissue is the Peyronie’s disease. The scar tissue basically prevents the penis from being straight and this curvature can be particularly observed during an erection.

3. Priapism

A painful erection that lasts for more than one hour.

4. Penile cancer

Cancer that starts in the cells of the penis skin. This is a rare condition.

5. Phimosis

Here, the foreskin of the penis becomes so tight that it cannot be pulled back off the head of the penis.

6. Paraphimosis

It is a condition where the foreskin gets stuck behind the penis head which could also lead to a cut off in circulation to this part. This is a serious case and people who have this should see a doctor immediately. This could be due to:

Penis piercing that causes pain and swelling

Mishandling of foreskin

Pulling back the foreskin for too long during sex that may cause excess swelling, trapping the skin behind
